    Taking this camera to Italy was the main reason I bought it. I used it the entire two weeks I was there. My pictures were great in all kinds of weather, daytime and at night. I continually downloaded my pictures so I could post on social media. It was easy and enjoyable, especially for someone who is older and not tech savvy.

    Love this camera! It's so easy to take pictures of my grandchildren. I just point and click, and it's so much faster than my previous camera. My eyesight isn't great, but every picture I've taken is automatically focused. I'm so glad I bought it.

    Bought this for a trip to Disney World. We went last year and I took an SLR. It was a lot to lug around, and I missed a ton of stuff because there's so much to see. The zoom on this camera will help us capture everything we want without lugging a bigger camera around. It has all of the settings you need for Disney...even fireworks.

    My daughter is a photographer and sometimes she wants to bring a smaller camera when going to certain spots or events. This is perfect for her to use. For me, it's less complicated to use than some of her "professional" cameras and take just as good photos.

    I bought this to save space on my iPhone, but it takes much better pics than my iPhone and the video quality and stability is amazing! It is a little bit on the heavy side, but the strap keeps it secure on my wrist. The color is really nice too.

    I have owned many Canon Poweshot cameras with this one being the best because of the zoom it has. I would highly recommend this camera.

    My grandson does not hold still for a moment. the repeat action is great for getting that wished for shot. looks nice in color. maybe too pricey compared to last year but the grip zone is a plus. delay between shots is not as bad as the last canon camera we had.

    Amazing zoom on a convenient compact camera! I wanted to get a bigger sensor to help with low light but large sensor long zoom cameras run $700-800 min. Way too much. This camera takes beautiful pictures, and does very well in low light. I am so happy with it. Can't wait to capture wildlife on an Alaskan cruise next week!

    I got this camera so that I could have a camera with a decent zoom that I could bring along on my kayak. This one does a nice job and takes nice pictures. I just wish that the stabilization worked better. It's hard to take a picture when fully zoomed in.

    I still have not really explored all the options on this camera, but it's excellent just with the auto settings. I particularly like that the flash doesn't automatically pop up. Lots of time when I don't want to use the flash. Good to have that option.

    I had a Canon camera before so I was able to operate the new Canon quickly without having to review the manual. I took it on a trip and took over 1,000 pictures, easy reviewed and deleted unwanted pictures and transferred the end product to my PC and then to my Internet accounts for my friends to view. The pictures were amazing.

    This is the first camera I have bought in over 30 years and I wanted something basic and simple. The camera is simple to use for my needs and can do so much more. Who knows... I might try some of the fancier functions in the near future.
